KZR-540 is a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of Sec61 cotranslational translocation that potently and selectively blocks PD-1 expression (SITC 2022)
Targeting Sec61 with small molecule inhibitors such as KZR-261, currently in a clinical trial for solid tumors ( NCT05047536 ), has anti-tumor effects through inhibiting the expression of multiple therapeutic targets, including PD-1, in preclinical models. Future studies will examine whether there is an enhanced anti-tumor response in a tumor model. Ethics Approval Animal studies were approved by the Institutional Animal Use and Care Committee.
